“the mind boggles at the % of the Egypt nations GDP went into the pyramid, and for what? stimulus? hmmm..... “
I guess it depends on how one values the focus of society and given how long Ancient Egypt lasted, maybe they were doing something right.
Wonder if the Arab Springers will blow up this survivor of the world before Islam, just like their Taliban brethren did to the Bamayan Buddhas?
Or maybe the job’s just too d@mn big even for the ROPers. But it’s certainly been discussed. Nothing but nothing built before Mohammed and his time can be allowed to remain standing.
Ever wonder why the jihadis are licking their chops over the prospect of conquering Rome for Islam? All those Roman antiquities and especially the Vatican, to the muzzies the most righteous of all targets.
Anyway, I think the Pyramids will survive. Even the Muslim Brotherhood knows that Egyptian tourism depends on non-muslim visitors. They’re not that stupid, or are they?
